Which one is it:
- Oh no, it’s American.
- Oh no, it has some banned chemicals in it.
Banned chemicals
Edit: also, I quickly grabbed it off the shelf at LIDL last week when my entire week was busy. I only realized it was American when my knife easily sunk into it this morning.
Which one?
The EU keeps strict maximum levels for contaminants in foods, including aflatoxins. Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915 sets tight contaminant limits, and the EU’s own 2023 summary notes that maximum levels are set at strict levels considered reasonably achievable.
Also, just less extra ingredients.
Ok, so hydrogenated fatty acids are the thing, right? More specifically, random trans fats resulting from the hydrogenation process.
American peanut butter? My friend, there is only one brand making decent peanut butter:
But I’m out of that, too.
Meridian makes pretty bangin peanut butter, too, but I think they’re only in the UK+Ireland?
The only ingredients that should be in peanut butter is peanuts. Maybe some salt but it’s better without.
What about whole pieces of pean- oh never mind you already said penauts.
What about that oily thing that gets separated, and mixing it together feels like mixing brown mortar?
That’s peanut oil that separates naturally from the rest of the peanuts.
Stirring it just reminds it that it has a job to do.
What about the peanut-colored coloring? Are you gonna say that’s peanut too??
There’s peanut butter with chili, fried onions, chocolate and… well I suppose you could just add those ingredients yourself now that I think about it.
Fried…. Onions?
De Pindakaaswinkel in the Netherlands has some wild flavors, including stoopwafel and fried onions.
Apparently Europe has all the cool foods, just like Asia, damn
I don’t get it :(
Sure, but the no-stir is no-stir by virtue of a Crisco infusion. Vegetable shortening. White, solid at room temperature, processed fat.
Stir peanut butter is just mashed up peanuts and some salt. It’s glorious.
And it’s straight up monounsaturated fat. Omega 6.
The taste is amazing. I say this as an American. Stir peanut butter is the best peanut butter. Adam’s is the best imo.
I agree its better but its a shame that it usually costs quite a bit more. Then if you want to look at other nuts omg the price can climb so high.
Omega 6 is only good is you’ve overconsumed Omega 3 and you need more O6 to bring them back to thr ideal ratio.
With the “standard 1st world diet” of today you are very likely overconsuming O6 in the first place.
Either way, still better than Crisco.
Pfft, American peanut butter doesn’t even have garlic in it.
Yes and the crunch is not made with quality nail clippings
